Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me has been called a downright box-office flop by some. That isn’t correct. A box-office disappointment, sure, but definitely not a flop considering its $16 million price tag.
Even if Summit Entertainment spent that same amount — or several million more — promoting and distributing the film, Remember Me will most likely end up in the black after worldwide box-office rentals (not grosses, as exhibitors keep about 50% of the share) and ancillary revenues are added up.
At the domestic box office — United States and Canada — Remember Me has grossed $14.5 million after 12 days. Day-to-day revenues have varied widely, with increases and decreases at times reaching 20%.
Overseas, Remember Me has opened in only a handful of major movie markets since March 11. According to country figures found at Box Office Mojo, Remember Me has grossed $5.42 million at the international box office as of March 21. That places its worldwide total at about $20 million.
The three top markets have been Russia with $1.824 million, Brazil with $1.118m, and Australia with $916K. Further down the list are Greece with $316K and Sweden with $279K.
Remember Me will open in major markets such as Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Korea, Mexico, and France in the coming weeks. Expect revenues to soar even if Remember Me doesn’t turn out to be a bona fide success.

Yes, I did notice the same painting of a man with a beard was on his wall and at the end in the museum. Not sure what that meant or what the significance was.
la he visto 2 veces, me parece una pelicula hermosa, con sentido y un hermoso mensaje..gran actuacion de Robert y todo el elenco..Hoy 31 de Marzo es el estreno en España y se que le va a ir bien en taquilla
The movie was thought provoking and bitter sweet.
The acting was excellent I thought, from the entire cast. I would watch Rob hanging out the laundry, but that is not why I liked the movie. It was a good story, bittersweet as I said and thought provoking. I will also purchase the DVD when it comes out.
Go see the movie, you will be glad you did.
Does anyone know whose picture is on the door of Tyler’s apartment in Remember Me. It’s a print of a man with a long beard. The same photo/painting is show at the end when Pierce Brosnan and the little girl are at the Metropolitan Museum. Anyone?????
I loved Remember me,,,,it was a grate move,,,The acting was great.The SCRIPT was .great go see it you will love it. Thank u 4 the love,,,,
I saw it today for the second time and liked it even more than the first time I saw it. It’s a wonderful movie and wish more people would go to see it.
I wath RM today, I cried! the movie is awesome!!!!!!
REMEMBER ME IS VERY GOOD MOVIE. THE STORY IS STRONG AND SAS BUT POSITIVE “LIVE REALLY HIS LIFE”.
ALL CAST WAS GREAT. I THINK ROB IS A VERY GOOD ACTOR AND THE CRITICS ARE TOO HARD ON HIM AND TWIFAN STUPID DON’T SEE THIS GOOD FILM.
DON’T LOSE IT THEM.
I saw REMEMBER ME it is a great movie.The acting was GREAT.The SCRIPT was GREAT.go see it you will love it.
My husband and I both watched the film and loved it. He was actually surprised by how much he liked it (as I made him come with me) and has been telling people to go see it. It’s the type of film that stays with you. It’s nice in a time when so many materialistic mindless movies are the big hit to watch one such as Remember Me. It was very simple and moving and real. It’s truly a shame that more people didn’t see it for whatever reasons. I hope it does do better abroad it was a good movie.
I just think that with this kind of movie it’s difficult to make a lot of money. Last year, Kristen Stewart was in a movie called “Adventureland”. It was a better movie than “Remember Me”, and it also had a guy who seems to be lost. It was a happy movie, and the critics liked it so much that it had a 80-something percent rating on Rotten Tomatos. But that movie did even worse than “Remember Me” in the box office ($17m world wide according to Box Office Mojo). So perhaps it doesn’t matter how good the movie is, the fact is that these coming-of-age movies are hard sell at this moment. Perhaps “Breakfast Club” wouldn’t become a classic if it were to be made today.
Anyways, I saw “Remember Me” twice in the theatre, and I will buy the DVD when it comes out. I like the movie.
I know it will make money and isn’t that all the suits want! Hey, with the right movie anybody can get the box office, but with this movie it is different! Every Twilight fan is not a Rob fan, I am and I didn’t want to see a sad film, but I knew Rob could act so I went to support him! I wasn’t disappointed “Remember Me is a fantastic movie and worth the time and money!
The movie suffers from the overhype from fans and critics alike. Fans from expecting unrealistic B.O. numbers even though it’s clearly a tiny independent movie. Critics from unfairly knocking it down because they’re turned off by the Rob-mania. The movie is good, not great. It’s one I expect is almost tailor made for the dvd market, not the big screen.
Good to hear it will do well abroad. I am so sorry that more Americans’ didn’t see it because it was a really good movie. The acting was good, the script was good, and it was thought provoking and left one leaving the theatre with a lot to think about. If you haven’t seen it yet, do so. You won’t be sorry. BTW males and females will both enjoy it.
